Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, succumbed on Tuesday after a November announcement of a rare blood cancer diagnosis.
Family and Institution Announces the Loss
Her passing was announced in a social media post from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
Understanding the Condition
In a published essay late last year, Schlossberg revealed that she had been found to have acute myeloid leukemia with a uncommon variant.
This form of cancer is a disease that targets the body's blood-forming tissues.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they mourn this profound loss.
